Atlético goalkeeper Nélson Pinhão is mourning the death of a brother. The news was released by the club’s president, Ricardo Delgado, in a post on the social network Facebook, where he paid great praise to the 29-year-old player, who was embraced by the team at the end of the game with 1.º de Outubro (victory by 2 -1), from the 14th round of League 3 – Series B.
Here is the full publication: “It will always be more than football… Yesterday morning, upon arriving at Tapadinha, the atmosphere was charged, there was terrible news, news that no one wants to hear or likes to share. The whole group knew about the importance of the game we were going to play in the early afternoon against 1.º de Outubro, but that was secondary. The important thing at that moment was to comfort and support one of our own. Nélson Pinhão is and will always be one of ours and received the worst news you can receive at Tapadinha. His second family suffered, the group comforted him with the pain that could be comforted at that moment. Nélson didn’t want to leave the team and went to the game with the pain of losing a brother. In the end , in a collective effort of desire, belief and determination, the entire working group and all the fans wanted to win to give Nélson some comfort that day. And we won. I have no doubt, yesterday was for him and for him! In the end After the game, I hugged Nélson and thanked him. The least important thing yesterday was the result, the terrible news we heard in the morning made us once again realize that it’s just a game and it’s just football. Human life and pain are worth more than the 3 points. I finish as I started, it will always be more than football. At this moment, my thoughts are with Nélson and his family in this moment of pain. From my side personally and from Atlético’s side, everything we can do, we will be here. More than a team, more than a group, we are a family. Nelson, thank you!”
To the bereaved family, Record offers heartfelt condolences.
